Cristian Eduardo Cortes Aguillon

I am a Ph.D. student with over six years of experience in the field of electrochemistry. My research focuses on the design and characterization of materials for energy storage applications, particularly conducting polymers and metal oxides. I am passionate about understanding charge storage mechanisms at the molecular level and developing sustainable materials for next-generation electrochemical devices.

In addition to my research activities, I have extensive experience in university teaching, having served as an instructor in courses such as General Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. This role has strengthened my communication and mentoring skills, allowing me to share my enthusiasm for science with younger students and foster critical thinking in the laboratory and classroom.

My goal is to continue advancing in the field of electrochemical materials, bridging fundamental science and practical applications, and contributing to global efforts toward cleaner energy technologies.
